Limited Assurance Is Not “Light Touch”: How to Read an ISSA 5000 Limited Assurance Conclusion Without Being Misled

Sustainability assurance is rapidly becoming a boardroom expectation. Yet one phrase continues to create confusion in the market: “limited assurance.” Too often, it is interpreted as “low effort” or “bare minimum.” That interpretation is not only wrong—it is strategically dangerous.
